Wei-Han Su
A native of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Mr. Wei-Han Su began his piano studies at the
age of five, and gave his first public performance the following year. Among
the several national youth competitions he won in Tanwan was the Kawai Piano
Competition which led to a series of concerts in Japan in 1983. In 1986, he
went to England to study at the Purcell School of Music as a scholarship
student of Yu Chun Yee. Later he continued his musical training at Cambridge
University, studying with Joyce Rathbone, and at the Royal College of Music
where he received his Master's Degree and Performance Diploma. In 1995 he
won the Chappell Gold Medal in Piano at the Royal College of Music. Mr.
Wei-Han Su has performed both as a soloist and chamber musician in such
venues as the Purcell Room and Queen Elizabeth Hall in England, and the
Moscow Conservatory and the Hall of Columns in Russia. In 1991, he made his
concerto debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, performing Beethoven's Third
Piano Concerto under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. The London newspaper
"Observer" hailed him as a "Star of Tomorrow."

Currently Mr. Wei-Han Su is pursuing a doctoral degree in piano performance
at the Peabody Conservatory, where he has also been a teaching assistant in
piano from 1997 to 1999. He is a student of Boris Slutsky. Mr. Su is one of
the students currently attending the 9th Summer Music Festival at Walnut
